-
'cause they were losing their little ones along the way
-
from exposure and disease,
-
and starvation.
-
A lot of them just disappeared.
-
So the elders, they said a prayer;
-
asked for a sign to uplift the mothers' spirits,
-
give them strength
-
and hope.
-
The next day this rose
-
started to grow right where the mothers' tears fell.
-
I'm not fool enough
-
to think there's any flowers blooming for my brother.
